The Header (.hdr) is a Populous Level File which contains the level's attrubutes.

These 3 bytes starting at byte 0 contain the spells blue starts off with. If you convert one of these bytes into binary then you can see all the spells it holds and there on or off value.
Byte 1
If you convert 27 from hex to binary then you will get these values. The last two bytes do not contain anything, leave at 1. Blast and Swarm should be on.

There are 36 landscape styles. In hex that is from 00 to 24.
There are 5 tree styles. In hex it goes 00, 03, 04, 05, 06.
Max Tribes
Maximum Tribes sets what tribes should appear on the level. In Single Player you must set this to the last colour on your level or 03. (Blue, Red, Yellow, Green). In Multiplayer you set this to how many players the level is. It is 1 byte long and starts at byte 88.
AI Scripts
AI Scripts are 3 bytes long and starts at byte 88. Each byte is for each colour (Red, Yellow, Green). You must type the script number n hex for it to link to that script. (Cpscr010.dat = 010 = 0A)
Allies
Allies are kept in 4 bytes staring at byte 89.
Blue = 01 Red = 02 Yellow = 04 Green = 08
An ally equals the two colours together. To make yellow and blue allies you would add Blue(01) and Yellow(04) together which makes 05. Then put 05 for yellow and blue (05 02 05 08).
